Rising interest rates and bond yields are seen as the biggest threat to global economic growth among wealthy investors, while Asia is expected to remain the world’s most geopolitically stable region over the next year, according to a Deutsche Bank survey.
The poll was conducted by Deutsche Bank Global Chief Investment Officer Christian Nolting during the Emerging Markets Family Office Forum 2026 in Singapore. The event brought together around 200 family offices and wealthy individuals to discuss investment opportunities, economic risks and global wealth trends.
Among surveyed family offices, 37% identified interest rates and yields as the greatest risk to global economic growth. Inflation ranked second at 23%, while risks associated with artificial intelligence were cited by 17% of respondents.
Despite persistent geopolitical uncertainty worldwide, 73% of respondents considered Asia the most stable region for the next 12 months. The United States ranked a distant second at 14%, followed by the UK and Europe at 6%, Latin America at 4% and the Middle East at 2%.
Investment plans, however, showed continued confidence in U.S. markets. About 54% of respondents said they intend to increase capital allocations to the United States over the coming year. Asia was the second-most popular destination at 30%, while 11% planned to boost investments in the UK and Europe.
Marco Pagliara, head of emerging markets at Deutsche Bank Private Bank, said international families and family offices are increasingly focused on stability, risk management and global connectivity. He added that Singapore has become a leading global wealth center as investors navigate a rapidly changing economic and geopolitical environment.
The survey highlights a notable divide between perceptions of geopolitical stability and investment preferences, with Asia viewed as comparatively secure while the United States continues to attract the largest share of planned capital increases.
Deutsche Bank operates wealth management services through 14 booking centers worldwide. As of June 30, assets under management at its private bank stood at €732 billion ($819.77 billion).
